Rules for replacement bollards in Wales
Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first.

How installation works
Make safe
If a broken post or stub is a hazard, it can be removed or capped first. That is priced separately in writing so you can approve it on its own.
Survey and match
At the free site survey we measure the existing bollards, photograph the line and check the foundations. A fixed written quote sets out like-for-like and any upgrade options.
Remove the old bollard
The damaged post is cut or extracted and the old foundation broken out, checking for services as the hole is opened.
Hand over records
Photographs and an itemised invoice are provided, which is useful when recovering the cost from a driver's insurer.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Gwynedd?

A driver hit our bollard and left: what should we do?
Make the area safe, photograph the damage and report it if the post is on public land. Check whether CCTV covered the area. A written quote from us can then support any claim.
Can a new bollard reuse the old foundation?
Sometimes, if the old foundation is sound and suits the new post. Foundations cracked by an impact are broken out. Rated bollards always need the manufacturer's tested foundation.
